16 June 2006 - Joel Spolsky: "My First BillG Review"
Interesting item by Joel Spolsky on his experience from the time he was Program Manager in the Microsoft Excel team.
Some quotes from the article:
Bill Gates was amazingly technical. He understood
Variants, and COM objects, and IDispatch and why Automation is
different than vtables and why this might lead to dual interfaces. He
worried about date functions. He didn't meddle in software if he
trusted the people who were working on it, but you couldn't bullshit
him for a minute because he was a programmer. A real, actual,
programmer.
Watching non-programmers trying to run software companies is like watching someone who doesn't know how to surf trying to surf.
"It's ok! I have great advisors standing on the shore telling mewhat to do!" they say, and then fall off the board, again and again.The standard cry of the MBA who believes that management is a genericfunction. Is Ballmer going to be another John Sculley, who nearly droveApple into extinction because the board of directors thought thatselling Pepsi was good preparation for running a computer company? Thecult of the MBA likes to believe that you can run organizations that dothings that you don't understand.
